The Kind Of Wife You Really Are, According To Your Zodiac Sign

When I was little I didn’t dream so much about my wedding and being a bride. What I did fantasize was the life I’d have as an adult — the places I’d visit, and how I’d be beautiful, smart, successful, and well-loved. The one thing I never thought about was how I’d be as a wife.

It’s funny but, for a lot of us, our imaginations stopped at the happily ever after. But our dreams shouldn’t end there because our lives sure don’t and getting married is the start of a new chapter, a new journey, complete with new challenges.

When someone asks us to marry them or we do the asking, it might be a good idea to consider how you see yourself as someone’s wife and if the type of wife you’ll be is a match for the type of wife that they need.

Marriage is complicated, challenging, and a whole lot of work. When you’re married to someone, you can’t just go on as you did before; things have changed and you’re legally bound to that person.

Wife isn’t just a noun, it’s something that influences your position in the community, in your household and even how you view yourself. You may be in a long-term relationship for years and then when you get married, although you may not think anything has changed, it has.

Different types of women make different types of wives. If you’re someone who tends to be adventurous, how does that affect what kind of spouse you are? Or, if you’re someone who prefers to be alone, does that mean you’d never want to spend time with your husband?

You're the type of wife who is always doing things — you have a career, you make time to workout, and you're usually the one who makes most of the plans in your relationship, whether it's vacations or trips to the accountant. You make sure to schedule some time with your spouse and some time alone. You have an impressive amount of energy but sometimes you just need to rest and relax. Monogamy can sometimes be a bit of a challenge for you so you try to keep things exciting within your marriage.

You're the type of wife who makes a comfortable and beautiful home for her spouse and family. You tend to go over-budget sometimes, so you definitely need your own income stream. You're incredibly trusting and faithful — once you commit, you do so with your whole heart and soul. However, you don't do compromise and can be extremely stubborn, so if your spouse disagrees with you and doesn't give in easily there can be trouble as there's no swaying you to see things from their perspective.

You're the type of wife who always has new interests and is always doing some new meet-up or class. You can get bored easily and when that happens you move on; you're not one for staying until the very end if it doesn't stimulate you. You can be as changeable as the wind. One moment you're passionately for some issue and the next you're against it. You enjoy long discussions and feeling as if you and your spouse communicate on a different wavelength than everybody else.

You're the type of wife that women aspire to be as you're extremely loving and you naturally think of your spouse's needs first. You seem to know what everybody needs and how to provide it for them. When your husband is feeling down, you intuitively know how to cheer him up. You don't like to take chances, especially with your own emotions, so you generally don't do anything too out there or unbelievable.

You're the type of wife that anyone would be proud to have. You know exactly what to do and say at any social event, you're warm and generous to everyone, and exceptionally loving to the people closest to you. You're the complete package and you're proud of that. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed and when that happens, you need a short retreat and then you're back to the action of life.

You're the type of wife who handles everything — all problems, all issues and anything that needs to be done. Your spouse knows that you are looking out for them and they depend on you to make everything run smoothly. You have all the answers, sometimes to questions your family doesn't even know to ask. You're the one with the snacks for the Little League team, the room mother, and the leader of the carpool. You are indispensable.

You're the fun wife. If possible, you like to keep the conflict down to a minimum. You're happiest entertaining with family and friends as you're a gracious host for any party. You like things to be pleasant, harmonious, and sociable. You may rely on your spouse to help you make decisions and you're not super into being by yourself. You thrive on being part of a couple.

You're a hot-blooded wife. You care about things passionately and you strive to keep things interesting and your spouse on their toes. No one would ever take you for granted and you give so much more than you could possibly get. You're a force of nature and it's best if everyone steps aside and lets you take over.

You're the type of wife who is fearless, open-minded, and fascinated by what's going on in the world. You keep your spouse energized and excited by the possibilities of life. You're a free spirit and your openness and excitement about living keep your husband intrigued.

You're the type of wife who makes her husband a better man. That's not to say he wasn't great to begin with, but you just make him strive to be even better. It's because you're so admirable. Who wouldn't want to be like you or your equal? You're hard-working, funny, stable and reliable. You're comfortable entertaining, taking care of the household, and keeping things hot in the bedroom.

You're the best friend type of wife. You share in your husband's interests whether they're charitable causes or interests in technology. You're independent so you don't depend on him to excess, and after you've been apart, you come together again with a renewed sense of belonging and love.

You're a romantic type of wife. You love doing creative and loving things for your husband. You work at keeping the spark between you alive but you enjoy it. You have your own way of seeing the world that is completely unique to you. You probably insisted on writing your own vows for your wedding and enjoyed fixing up your first home together. You make sure that you and your husband always have date nights.
